Cape Breton Stories, Myths, and the Occasional Half-Truths
Where does truth end and story begin on Cape Breton Island?
The line has always been blurred. Here, fog carries whispers, waves remember secrets, and every cairn, crow, and crooked lane holds a tale waiting to be told.
In Cape Breton Stories, Myths, and the Occasional Half-truths, author Kimberley Williamson gathers an irresistible collection of folklore-inspired tales that shimmer with superstition, humour, and mystery. Giants rise from the strait, witches linger on the headlands, tricksters test the unsuspecting, and the sea itself hums with voices older than memory.
With a lyrical touch and a wink toward the half-believed, these stories weave together the island's past and present-part history, part invention, and all Cape Breton.
Whether you grew up with the sound of the fiddle, the salt on your tongue, and the stubborn strength of this island in your bones, or you're encountering its magic for the first time, this book invites you into a world both familiar and enchanted.
This premier volume launches a series celebrating Cape Breton's imagination, spirit, and storytelling tradition. Once you've stepped into these pages, you may never look at the island-or the truth-the same way again.
Cape Breton Stories, Myths, and the Occasional Half-Truths: Where the wind remembers, and the stories choose you.
